Longitude: 99.50.89'E
Average Depth: 2 - 3 m

Description:
Bass Harbour is the main anchorage for Kuah Town. At two hours either side of high tide, it is very handy for provisioning by dinghy, either directly to Teow Soon Huat supermarket in the NW corner of the bay, or to any suitable location on shore. If attempting to land dinghy at low tide, it's best to go Jetty Pelancongan, situated halfway between RLYC and Kuah Town. Landing fee is RM3 per day.

NOTE:
This anchorage is only suitable for doing your shopping then moving out to one of the much bette locations listed here, particularly if you want to swim or be assured of a good night's sleep.

BEWARE:
The holding ground here is poor and your anchor will drag in SW squalls of over 20 knots that occur frequently during May-Nov.

DANGER:
A dangerous unmarked rock lies just beneath the surface at Lat: 06.15.10'N Long: 99.44.90'E (SE of P. Selang at end of Bass Harbour. See the anchorage map for the approximate position) IT HAS CLAIMED MANY BOATS AND IS NOT ON SOME CHARTS.
